Isata

This is 33-year-old Isata. She is married and has children aged 10 and 7 years. She has one additional dependent who is her sales assistant.

In 2010, Isata established her drinks and cement business. She began her business because she failed to get a job after she left, so she then decided to go into business and be self-employed. Her business helps her provide a livelihood for her family. Working seven days a week and eight hours a day, she earns about Le 1,000,000 every month from this business.

She would like a loan in the amount of Le 4,000,000. Isata requires a loan in order to buy more drinks and cement for her business. In the future, Isata plans to build a house and educate her children well. She is thanking you for your support.
